C42 Service Usage

[David Dunlop]

Hi Terry.

I initially thought of that, but vehicles have a tendency to outlive their wireless equipment in service and when the vehicles move to a new user, the wireless equipment does not necessarily go with them.

I am basically curious as to the amount of distribution of the C42 globally. Parts at the moment are relatively easy to come by in the UK and Canada currently, but it might be useful to know where else spares may be located down the road.

From what I have read, the C42 and it's clone, the C45 were supposed to be specialized equipment for the Royal Artillery and Amoured Corps (can't recall who was supposed to use what), but it all seemed to morph into the C42 becoming the dominant set with more users than initially intended.
